Museum of Femininity
Welcome to the Museum of Femininity, a laid back podcast exploring different aspects of female history and the representation of women in art and material culture My name is Charlotte Appleyard, a graduate with an MA in Art History and Archaeology of East Asia and museum professional. I have a love of Symbolism, Edo period art, fashion history and all things Victorian. Join me as I learn about areas of art and social history which have either faded from memory or were never taught to me in the first place! This is a fun passion project for me to keep me connected to my various interests, I hope you enjoy my rambles :)

In this episode we explore the role of women in the 1381 Peasants Revolt in England, from rebels to hapless victims, alongside the timeline of events during this important part of British history, which arguably became the blue print for all civilian uprisings from then on.
